Dubuque Plans To Construct Roundabouts on University Avenue

The City of Dubuque is moving forward with a project to construct three roundabouts on a major roadway. City Council members have voted unanimously to hire HDR, Inc., of Omaha, Nebraska, to complete the preliminary engineering design and environmental clearance phase for a project to construct three roundabouts along University Avenue. The city will pay HDR just over $1 million, with a little over $842,000 covered by state funds. The city aims to make improvements to University Avenue in order to create a new major traffic corridor between the east and west sides of Dubuque. The project includes the construction of roundabouts at University Avenue’s major intersections with Loras Boulevard, with Asbury Road and with Pennsylvania Avenue.
